i can see your n64 has an expansion pak. cause the RDP when up to 16:2
i have one of these carts as well. i got it in a ebay auction for free the guy selling through it in. i use it to test the equipment it sure makes things alot easier for ebay selling. of course i handle it with great care.
Now that I see what the N64 (or Ultra 64) controller was suppose to look like I think that's were the Circle Pad came from on the 3DS. Nintendo always brings something they used to have onto a new system. Ex: The Nunchuck on the Wii looks just like the center handle on the N64 with the anolog.
The circle slider isn't a new thing. The PSP and other systems have had a flat analog stick before, Nintendo didn't "reuse" the idea from the prototype controller. The stick was taller, the stem thinner, and the top larger, concave, and smooth. The circle discs on the 3DS, and PSP and other systems don't share anything other than the fact that they are round.
@Draknfyre I believe you've mis-understood what I'm trying to say. I wasn't trying to say the anolog slider idea came from the N64 but the 3DS "circle pad" resembles the top of the prototype N64 anolog much like how the nunchuck controller looks like the center prong on the N64 controller. That's what its design was based off of.
@Draknfyre Okay. And the cart uses the image of that controller because this was "Ultra 64" test equiptment when the controller design was not finalized.
I worked for an authorized Nintendo/Intellivision/Atari warranty center for a few years. I also own the NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Intellivision test carts and the NES and SNES test stations. Most of those devices can be viewed in videos posted here by others.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I have a GameCube test disc as well. Not to mention a bunch of other goodies, such as 8 Nintendo binders of service manuals and 'insider' information. And I have a test box made by Nintendo that is essentially the guts and fronts of two NES controllers mounted to a black enclosure. One day, after I finish moving house and setting up, I'll make some more videos to post. I have all kinds of gaming rarities and goodness.

It's interesting that the cart uses that image.

I understood what you mean. But what I was saying was the sliding analog "stick" shares nothing in common except both are round.
That kind of design, a flat, sliding "stick" goes back to the NES Max. But that was digital, and not analog.

I noticed the N64 controller at 1:28 is a prototype. The control stick on it is a bit big.
